all dolled up and movie review

One of the things that most excites about having a little girl, is that I will soon have a legit reason to go into Crewcuts (other than trying to squeeze myself into a girls XXL). This arrived in my inbox this morning – and I'm sorry, but if my daughter had those baubles Mommy would borrow them often.

In other (totally unrelated) news…

Movie review: Julie & Julia was wonderful! I don't want to tell you much, because I don't want to ruin it… but I did not want the movie to come to an end! It was good folks! Chance's response "that was a way better movie than I thought it was going to be"… we both loved it. The set decoration is enough to make you want to watch it over and over again. Set decoration intrigues me deeply. The movie is rolling so fast I always wish I had a remote to pause it and take it all in -right there on the big screen in the theater. Mrs.Blandings (Patricia Shakelford) interviewed Susan Bode Tyson (the set decorator) regarding the set of Julie & Julia… I'm headed off to reread her article now. You can read it too: RIGHT HERE.

And… now I'm tempted to start collecting copper pots, and I never really thought of peg board as a design element for a kitchen, but it sure is useful! My husband will be glad there are no blank walls in our little bitty kitchen. Here's a wonderful article from NPR on Julia Child's kitchen and the exhibit at the Smithsonian. It's a must read!

I saw the movie this morning and it was fabulous! I agree, I love watching sets in movies. I’d love to be a part of creating them. I think that may have been one of the only reasons I loved Marie Antoinette so much, good sets! Glad you liked the movie too!

We were at Crewcuts this morning shopping around. The flower headbands/pins/ponytail holders are not too expensive and fit us older gals. They are fabulous. I wish I could morph all of their clothes into our size!!

We saw it on Friday too. Half way through the movie I had the thought that I didn’t want it to end. I told my husband afterward that I would have to get it on dvd.
I used to watch her on pbs when I was little. I remember thinking I couldn’t wait to grow up and have some copper pots.

love the crewcuts! my friends and i call it jcrack.
i have wanted some copper pots for some while now. they have a few at williams sonoma that have an acorn for the handle on the lid(if that makes sense) oh, and you can even have it personalized with an engraved monogram. they are beautful!

i saw this pic in crewcuts mag the other day and LOVED it..but for a different reason than you – having all girls i see that look too often! it’s how my 4 year old and her best friend are one minute and hugging and loving each other the next. gotta love those girls. but i do love the clothes/jewels too… arre and i hit up the crewcuts outlet store as often as we can – you’re lucky you’re so close!!

my husband said the exact same thing!!! And we went to the most fabulous brunch on Sunday, my mother-in-law and I delighted in using our version of Julia’s accent, “you can just see us grow before your eyes”!!!! and might I add, a MUCH better movie than the G.I.Joe flick we also had to see.

I think it’s great that you posted pics of J.C.’s kitchen. When I saw it a couple of years ago I thought that if J.C. could cook in such a deconstructed kitchen then so could I.
I can’t wait to see Julie and Julia. I read the book and I’m sure the movie is going to be wonderful. I can’t decide if I should see it alone or with someone. Maybe they would distract me. Or maybe it would be fun to see it with someone.

aw! i just got back from seeing Julie and Julia with my mom and sister. it was so lovely! and i too totally swoon over each and every crewcuts catalog. they have become yet another thing i cannot bring myself to throw away.
